NAME
     plain-interface -- Description of the plain test program interface

DESCRIPTION
     The plain test interface is the interface of test programs that return
     their pass/fail status as an exit code.  While simple, this interface is
     what legacy test programs use and what test programs written with many
     other testing libraries use too.

     Kyua supports this interface for two main reasons: first, to simplify the
     incorporation of legacy test programs into a Kyua test suite; and,
     second, to ensure that the Kyua run-time engine does not become tied to a
     particular test interface.

     The results of a plain test are one of the following:

     passed    If the test program exits with a success exit code; i.e. 0.

     failed    If the test program exits with a failure exit code; i.e. not 0.

     broken    If the test program exits due to any other reason (e.g. it
               crashes) or if it fails to be executed.

     Plain test programs are executed with the same isolation features as ATF
     test programs; see kyua-atf-interface(7).
